Fireman Quartz, seeing the danger jumped
from the engine and were badly used up,
but fortunately escaped without being dan
gerCusly hurt. The engine plunged ahead,
ran INTO the car load of stone which il tum-
bIed of the track, and came 10 a sudden
stop, when it ran into the mountain of solid
rock IL was a complete wreck, and num-
Der of men who were working in the quarry
